Opportunities & Activities
Over the years, the Corps of Cadets have had many activities to occupy their time when not pursuing their academics or the main ROTC curriculum. Today, the Military Science Department sponsors the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Company, the National Society of Pershing Rifles, and the Ranger Company as the three cadet extra curricular organizations. Each of the Clubs has its own niche as far as "specialty areas" and the type of cadets and regular UD students that are attracted to them. Indeed, all three activities have non-ROTC students who have joined their ranks to participate and experience the challenges, friendship, and camaraderie they offer.
